Grandma Holava, my Mom, came to visit this weekend. It was nice to be able to spend some time with her, more than the ususal 1/2 day. We hung around the house on Saturday, Jake opened presents from Grandma, and then we grilled out burgers for dinner. It was a nice day, a little chilly compared to Friday.

That evening, Cathy and I went to a Cinco de Maio party across the street. I was apprehensive to go because the host doesn't like me too much. I don't understand why. What's not to like? Anyway, it was a great time as we got to see some old neighbors and catch up. They get crazy at this party every year, with karaoke singing and jello shooters.

Jacob got to go next door and hang out with Tate, Lane and Elle for most of the night. they had there own party, watched Justice League and ate ice cream. Fun, Fun!

On Sunday, we got up early and went to brunch at Waterman's restaurant. It was nice, even thought the waiter tried to screw us with the bill ( and pretty much succeded). We walked on boardwalk and took pictures. The monster trucks were there, all lined up in the sand. The weather was awesome, sunny and warm (85).

We went home and put our shorts on, and filled up Jake's pool. His pool has a built-in sprinkler, which made the grass very happy. Frank and I fixed the footer on the back door to the house. Drilling into cement is never easy. But at least it's done now.

All-in-all, it was a great weekend!
